Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2052: Chapter 2053: Targeted

Angel was already anxious about meeting Misty Goldlady, and now he might have to face more intelligent beings from the Nightmare Realm, his mind immediately became tense.

Moreover, if what Lunatic said is true, there’s some kind of ”Moonlight Patron” ranking. Misty Goldlady is just sitting at the end of the guest seat, which means that most of the people here are more esteemed than Misty Goldlady. Although esteem in reality doesn’t necessarily represent strength, for Nightmare Realm creatures, the more esteemed one is, the stronger their power.

Although Angel tried his best to appear calm, his mood was undoubtedly bad. He even felt that the air he breathed in was bone-chilling, leaving his heart cold.

”Hosting a banquet, just for me?” Angel felt flustered inside, but maintained a cold tone when he spoke.

”Yes.” Lunatic nodded solemnly, then continued with a bunch of praises.

Angel wanted to say, cancel this banquet. However, after he came in, he sat down at the banquet table without any obstruction and didn’t show any objections, now saying cancel seems a bit inappropriate.

Unless Shava is a capricious person?

”All this trouble, just for a banquet executed before notifying?” Angel raised an eyebrow, his gaze seemed to hide sharp arrows, looking at Misty Goldlady in the distance.

From Shava’s perspective, stopping the banquet is actually an evident conflict point, reflecting many personality traits. Angel doesn’t know Shava well, the best method is not to create obvious conflicts, and try to downplay distinct personality characteristics. Of course, this is also a risk, but compared to creating conflict to highlight personality, it’s more moderate.

So, at this point in time, not stopping the banquet might allow him to better play Shava. But if he truly doesn’t stop it, he will be facing more unknown dangers, so he decided to open his mouth in a slightly softened way.

Not directly saying to cancel the banquet, but pointing out that Misty Goldlady forcibly brought him to Duling Garden to participate in the banquet, concentrating his anger on Misty Goldlady, expressing strong dissatisfaction with this act.

According to normal logic, he could find a step or reason to cancel the banquet.

In this way, stopping the banquet conflict is more rationalized and won’t make ”Shava” seem excessively unreasonable.

When Angel’s voice with obvious dissatisfaction was heard, Lunatic closed his mouth, somewhat uneasily looking towards Misty Goldlady who was at the end seat.

Although Misty Goldlady’s entire body was hidden in darkness, given Lunatic’s understanding of Misty Goldlady, she was surely trembling at this moment.

Twenty seconds passed after Angel’s words fell, and Misty Goldlady still did not speak, the air seemed somewhat silent.

Angel still outwardly showed faint sarcasm, but inside he was a bit uneasy due to the prolonged silence. Could it be that concentrating his anger on Misty Goldlady is a tactic that wouldn’t work?

Intelligent beings inherently have unpredictable thought directions, let alone Nightmare Realm beings who don’t follow conventional logic.

Therefore, when dealing with such beings, Angel always plans for the worst scenarios: if this tactic truly isn’t a good move, he’s already thought through how he would remedy it.

If ten seconds pass and Misty Goldlady still doesn’t speak, Angel is prepared to tactfully retreat from the sharp targeting remarks.

Before ten seconds were up, a voice finally broke the silence. However, it wasn’t Misty Goldlady, but the Lunatic Tome floating mid-air.

”Please be appeased, Misty Goldlady didn’t deliberately preempt the proceedings, she simply didn’t have time to say the invitation to the banquet.”

Angel could hear, Lunatic’s tone had hints of flattery and explanation. This side note indicates he actually doesn’t need to withdraw his stance yet.

”No time? Don’t tell me it’s also due to shyness?” Angel sneered lightly.

Lunatic sighed, seemingly unaware of the sarcasm in Angel’s voice: ”It’s true, Misty Goldlady initially intended to send an invitation, but she’s not good with words, and facing you, she was too shy, which led to the current situation...”

Angel let out a light snort, neither affirming nor denying.

Lunatic, seeing that he couldn’t pacify Shava’s dissatisfaction, felt anxious at heart, constantly glancing at Misty Goldlady, hoping she would say something. But Misty Goldlady was trembling in the darkness...

Seeing such a scene, Angel thought to himself, perhaps there is already a reason to cancel the banquet? If he mentions canceling the banquet now, the conflict shouldn’t be too abrupt, right?

”The inappropriate behavior has filled this banquet with ridicule and absurdity. There’s no need to continue this event, let’s cancel it.” Angel, eyebrows lowered, said seeming nonchalantly but with inner agitation.

When expressing the cancellation of the banquet, Angel was agitated inside, but after speaking, his mood began to become subtly uneasy.

Because, although he appeared to be making a judgment, he knew very well the choice wasn’t actually in his hands.

”Respected Shava, the invitations to the banquet have already been sent out, the lords are on their way, if we cancel now, they will certainly blame us for incompetence, Duling Garden may be downgraded, and whether it will ultimately be incorporated into Xinnai Land is another matter...” Lunatic’s eyes showed urgency, starting to glisten with tears.

Angel remained silent but was thinking over the information revealed in Lunatic’s words. Duling Garden being downgraded? Incorporated into Xinnai Land?

”Misty Goldlady truly didn’t do it on purpose. After returning to Silver Night Castle, she felt very remorseful and specially searched for moonlight praising songs to apologize to you.”

Angel now understood why Misty Goldlady felt remorseful from the dialogue transmitted by Sound Transmission Mushroom earlier. But offending Shava, can a song praising moonlight fully apologize? Is this a Nightmare Realm custom?

”This is a spore segment of the Sound Transmission Mushroom, it was specifically found by Misty Goldlady after knowing you wanted to cultivate it, to express her regret.”

A small, pure white mushroom suddenly emerged from the tabletop and came to Angel, then bounced in a leap to Angel’s bracelet, transforming into a ”pendant” like the three Misty Embryos.

Angel intended to refuse because he wasn’t truly interested in Sound Transmission Mushroom; earlier when he mentioned wanting to cultivate it, he was merely testing.

But having claimed he wanted to cultivate it before, saying no now would seem contradictory. Therefore, Angel ultimately didn’t speak, allowing the Sound Transmission Mushroom spore segment to transform into a pendant.

Yet despite this, Angel still did not relent.

Just as the atmosphere became awkward, Misty Goldlady hiding in the dark corner finally spoke.
